Disliked: Cleanliness
It’s a nice place, but we did have a problem. The upstairs shower leaks into the downstairs shower. The ceiling was stained so it’s obvious it’s been going on for a while. So if you’re taking a shower downstairs you will have moldy leak water in the shower with you. We had 7 people and one usable shower. I messaged the host and he was already aware, but we were not given a heads up. We paid premium price and expected premium accommodations.

Our favorite lake getaway!

Our family could not love this place, more! This was our second time staying and we hope we have many more weekends here. Big thanks to Jim and his family for sharing this gem with us. We can’t wait another fall trip!

Definitely Secluded

Fantastic property! Only significant issue was the stairs. Steep, narrow and no hand railing. Challenging for older folks. Fire pit and outside seating and kitchen were outstanding. Had so much fun . Thank you!

Spring Break

This rental was amazing! Beautiful as well as functional. Plenty of room for 10 to sleep comfortably. Wonderful outdoor spaces and lake frontage. The kitchen was well thought out with the essentials being on hand for our use. We will definitely be booking again!

Beautiful & Peaceful Getaway!!!

We all enjoyed the beautiful home. Everything was thought of that we would not have realized we needed. The home was decorated for Christmas which made the stay extra special. Communication with the host was exceptional. This property is well secluded and tranquil. I could go on and on what a wonderful experience. We will be back!
